After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 219

Everyone present can understand why Mr. Feng didn't choose to report to the official, and why he didn't choose to trouble the store.It was an inn in the town, which had been in operation for many years, and it was not a black shop in the wilderness.

If Mr. Feng was poisoned and killed in the inn, then the owner of the inn is a ready-made scapegoat. Regardless of whether he knew about the poisonous food, he was forced to enter the game, so Mr. Feng didn't want to care about it.

Mr. Feng hid and stopped all the way. When he arrived at the border, he almost had all the clothes on his body. At first, he found a small town with a garrison in the border and set up a stall for the soldiers who served in the border. Write a letter from home, the price is very affordable.

Originally, there was an old man who had read books for a few days to write letters here. After Mr. Feng came, the price was affordable, and the letters were written quickly and well. Grab a lot.

Although the old man who was robbed of his business was a coward, he didn't dare to gather a group of people to make trouble, so he could only vent his anger by cursing Mr. Feng every day.

It's a pity that the unlucky old man soon discovered that he couldn't win by cursing.Arguing with highly educated people is too embarrassing, and Mr. Feng even swears by citing scriptures.

At that time, the two were bickering at the gate of the barracks every day, and the soldiers in the camp took it for fun, and no one cared about them. It happened that one day, a general from Beijing visited the camp. As for education, he listened to Mr. Feng's quarrel with others a few times, and suddenly discovered that this down-and-out scholar writing letters at the gate of the barracks has a lot of money in his stomach!
So the general chatted up Mr. Feng, tested Mr. Feng's level, and then asked Mr. Feng if he would like to go to his house to teach his young son to read.

In this way, Mr. Feng opened up new business opportunities.

There are many military generals from aristocratic families at the border. They go to the border to mix their qualifications and wait to return to Beijing to be promoted. Most of them will not bring their family members to take up the post. Many of them will set up another house in the border, marry a few concubines to warm their beds and take care of themselves .

Therefore, in border towns, there are many bastards with noble fathers, but not all of them have the opportunity to follow their father back to Beijing and return to their clan. He hired a gentleman to study for his concubine.

Because the aristocratic family will never reject capable clansmen for the expansion of the clan's power. Although these children are bastards, if they are smart and promising in school, they will be successful in the future. They will usually get the support of the clan, which is a win-win situation.

It's a pity that there are many bastards who care about Gao Qi and want to get ahead, but there are not many high-level gentlemen.Even if some relatives are willing to spend a lot of money to invite gentlemen from Beijing, there are not many good gentlemen who are willing to come to the border to eat sand.

Those famous gentlemen are very popular in Beijing, who would travel all the way to the border?

Therefore, the general found Mr. Feng with a high level of professionalism, as if he had dug a treasure, and immediately invited him home to teach his youngest son to read.Mr. Feng taught well, and he soon became famous among the generals and became the most sought-after private school teacher at the border.

However, since Mr. Feng started teaching in Yingguan, he established a rule that he only taught Kaimeng and didn't care about entering school.

Famous gentlemen generally disdain such basic work as teaching children to read and write, but Mr. Feng doesn't care.But no matter how much money the family of the students preparing to take the imperial examination asked him to teach, he refused.

"I teach children not to be picky. I teach both good and bad, but only until they enter school. It is interesting to teach children. It is fun to teach children at the age of three, and at the age of seven." Mr. Feng told Shangguanjing and the others: "This child's You can usually tell when you are young. Some people are not good at birth, even if they study for a lifetime, it is useless. Nature is important, and tutoring is also important. It is said that you can tell if you look at the heels of your parents. The temperament of the parents usually also affects the children. But there are good bamboo shoots out of bad ones."

Mr. Feng pointed Shangguanjing's forehead with his old finger like a tree branch: "This one is a good bamboo shoot that somehow grew straight from a crooked position. It's very rare!"

"Your old man must be sitting on the ground and raising the price." Shangguan Jing, who knows Mr. Feng very well, said: "There are so many concubines in the border, and they can earn a lot of money just by teaching them."

"That's right." Old man Feng nodded triumphantly: "The amount of training I received was quite high! When I was at the border, the price was dozens of times higher than that of ordinary gentlemen. This old man is knowledgeable, even if he only teaches Kaimeng, this kid must have a solid foundation , it will be of great benefit to future studies, so it is naturally worth the price.”

"Then how did Mr. Feng become Mr. Boudoir School?" He Lingjun asked curiously: "You can live a good life just by teaching Kaimeng."

"As I said, I teach children not to be picky." Mr. Feng replied: "It doesn't matter if the price is high enough, regardless of character or gender, I will teach. In fact, when Wu Dinghou arrived at the border, I had already left He didn't hear my name at the border. After earning enough money, I asked someone to change my name and identity at the border. I grew a beard and went back to Beijing. The border has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, and I am old and dark. Even if Su Ping meets me face to face, I'm afraid I won't recognize him. I escaped in a hurry and my family was in Beijing. I still miss them. It's a pity that I came back too late!"

"Could it be that he was persecuted by the Su family?" Shangguan Jing asked.

"That's not true." Mr. Feng shook his head: "My father was originally a down-and-out scholar, but he died a long time ago. My mother worked hard to support me in studying, and married me a wife. When I left, my wife was pregnant, and my mother was still there, in good health. .But I have been away for nearly 20 years, everything is different."

After Mr. Feng returned to Beijing, he found that the family house had already been sold to someone else. After inquiring, he found out that when he left home in a hurry, his mother and wife did not know what happened. escaped.

After that, the wife gave birth to the child alone, took care of Mr. Feng's mother, and worked hard to support the family alone. Unfortunately, the child died of illness when he was three years old, leaving only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to depend on each other.

Six or seven years after Mr. Feng left, the old lady was also seriously ill, and his wife was desperate. First, she sold the house to treat the old lady's illness. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rented a broken house on the corner of the street to live.Later, the money gradually ran out, the old lady didn't see any improvement, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gradually fell into a desperate situation. At this time, the old lady proposed to go to the government office to report the death of Mr. Feng and cancel the household, so that her daughter-in-law could remarry. She didn't want to drag her daughter-in-law down.

I heard from neighbors back then that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been arguing for a long time about this matter. Later, Mr. Feng’s wife went to the government office to cancel the account of Mr. Feng after crying all night at home, and then asked the matchmaker to find a suitable one for remarriage. There was only one condition: , the other party must agree to her remarriage with her mother-in-law.

　---Here is the dividing line for border bastards--
　　Mr. Feng is very sought-after, because he is such a high-level academic and is very suitable for the border market.How could there be so many concubine sons from noble families over there!Such a child, if he is promising, will most likely be successfully incorporated into the family.But if it's worthless... then ask for blessings!See what my aunt thought when my father returned to Beijing...

　　If I don't try my best, this father will most likely not be able to count on him. After all, this kind of man who casually arranges a bunch of concubines is not too short of children.
